The Ngultrum is pegged 1:1 to the Indian rupee, so checkout charges the same number in Indian rupees: pay by UPI, RuPay, an Indian bank card or netbanking. Paying with an international Visa or Mastercard instead? Pick US dollars at checkout (Basic is US$13.49 a year).
Everything included
The same eight things come with every plan, whether you run a farmstay in Bumthang, a trekking company in Paro or a hardware shop in Gelephu. Nothing on this list is a paid add-on.
Pure SSD storage
Every site sits on solid-state disks on servers we do not oversell, so pages and photo galleries load quickly.
Unlimited bandwidth
No traffic meter and no surprise bill when the tourist season or a festival like the Paro Tshechu brings a rush of visitors.
Easy control panel
Manage files, databases, email, domains and PHP versions from one web panel. No command line needed.
Free SSL
A Let's Encrypt certificate is issued for every domain automatically and renews itself, so the padlock never lapses.
Free India CDN
Your site is cached on our node in Mumbai, so visitors in India get pages in about 0.3 s instead of 2 s and images up to 6× faster. Included free on every plan, nothing to configure.
Backup tools
Take a full backup of files, databases and email from the panel whenever you like and download it to keep.
Business email
Business email hosting on your own domain, such as bookings@yourhotel.bt, with webmail, IMAP and spam filtering.
One-click WordPress
Install WordPress from the panel in one click, then add WooCommerce from the WordPress dashboard.
Free migration
Send us your old host's login and we move the site, database and email across at no cost.
Why Bhutan businesses choose HostKarle
We are a small hosting company that has run servers since 2016, based in Alipurduar district in West Bengal, the district that meets Phuentsholing at Jaigaon. We are not a Bhutanese company and do not pretend to be. What we offer is cheap web hosting for Bhutan that you can order online tonight, at a fair price, with a person who answers.
Priced in Nu., no forex loss
Because the Ngultrum and the rupee are worth the same, the Nu. price is exactly what you pay. No daily exchange rate, no surprise on your statement.
Pay the way you already do
Plenty of businesses in Phuentsholing, Gelephu and Samdrup Jongkhar bank on both sides of the border. Pay by UPI, RuPay or netbanking, or by international card in US dollars.
Neighbours, on nearly the same clock
We are 30 minutes behind Bhutan Time, so our working day and yours line up. Open a ticket for technical help. WhatsApp +91 94343 44325 for sales and billing.
Hosting for your .bt domain
Keep the .bt or .com.bt name you registered with Bhutan Telecom and point it to us, or register a .com in the same checkout as your hosting.
Free move from Drukhost or BT
Outgrown 500 MB at Bhutan Telecom or 100 MB at Drukhost? We copy your site, database and mailboxes for free and switch over when you are ready.
Built for tourism businesses
Website hosting for hotels and tour operators in Bhutan needs room for big photo galleries, a booking form and email that never bounces. 70 GB covers all of it.
.bt domains and DNS
We do not sell .bt names. They are registered through Bhutan Telecom's .bt registry at nic.bt, which asks for your licence or CID copy and approves each name. Hosting a .bt domain with us takes three steps: register the name at nic.bt, ask the registry to set its nameservers to ns1.fastnsdns.com and ns2.fastnsdns.com, then add the domain to your HostKarle plan. Website, email and free SSL follow within a few hours.
Want a .com, .net or .org instead? Search above and register it together with your hosting. We connect it to your plan automatically, so there are no DNS settings to touch.

How much does web hosting cost in Bhutan?
Local plans usually start between Nu. 1,200 and Nu. 2,250 a year for a few hundred megabytes of space. HostKarle Basic is Nu. 1,188 a year (Nu. 99 a month) for 70 GB of SSD storage, or Nu. 1,764 for three years, and it renews at the same price. You can also pay month by month at Nu. 149.
How can I pay from Bhutan?
The Ngultrum is pegged 1:1 to the Indian rupee, so the Nu. price on this page is exactly what the checkout charges in Indian rupees. Pay with any Indian UPI app, a RuPay or Indian bank card, or Indian netbanking. No Indian account? Choose US dollars at checkout and pay with any international Visa or Mastercard (Basic is US$13.49 a year).
Can I use a .bt or .com.bt domain with your hosting?
Yes. We do not sell .bt names; they are registered through Bhutan Telecom's .bt registry at nic.bt. Once you have one, ask the registry to set its nameservers to ns1.fastnsdns.com and ns2.fastnsdns.com, add the domain to your plan, and your website, email and free SSL start working. We are happy to walk you through it by ticket.
Do you accept Ngultrum?
Not as cash or a Bhutanese bank transfer. Because Nu. and the Indian rupee are worth the same, you pay the same number in rupees by UPI, card or netbanking, or the dollar equivalent by international card.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, for 2 days. Ask within 48 hours of your first hosting purchase and we refund the hosting fee in full. After that, refunds are only given for a prolonged outage on our side, and domains are never refundable. Read the full refund policy.
Can you move my site from Drukhost or Bhutan Telecom for free?
Yes. Send us the login for your current control panel, whether it is with Drukhost, Bhutan Telecom, Weblaya or a web designer in Thimphu, and we copy the website, databases and mailboxes at no charge. Your old site stays live until you change the nameservers, so there is no downtime.
Is support available in Bhutan hours?
Yes. Our team is in Alipurduar district, just across the border from Phuentsholing, and works on a clock only 30 minutes behind Bhutan Time. Open a ticket for technical help. For sales and billing, message us on WhatsApp at +91 94343 44325.
Does WordPress work on these plans?
Yes. Install WordPress from the panel in one click. Hotels, tour operators and guesthouses in Bhutan mostly run WordPress with a booking or enquiry plugin, and it runs well on every plan.
